Andres Pina, dead from a gunshot wound to the neck, remained in the silver SUV as police investigated the Southwest Side shooting early Thursday.

A woman who lived nearby retrieved a pink blanket from her home and gave it to police. Officers draped it over the driver's side window.

Pina, 24, was shot as he sat in the SUV in the 4900 block of South Komensky Avenue in Archer Heights around 3:50 a.m., waiting to pick up a friend, police said.

The friend told police he heard shots and found Pina, of southwest suburban Palos Hills, unresponsive in the SUV.

The SUV remained parked in the middle of Komensky, shattered glass on the ground, as police interviewed two women and a man who stood on a porch near the SUV.

A Friday autopsy determined Pina, of the 9000 block of Los Palos Lane, died of multiple gunshot wounds and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Pina was one of nine people shot in Chicago between Wednesday morning and early Thursday, two of them fatally.

The other homicide occurred around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when 28-year-old Dionysus English was shot several times in an alley in the 100 block of South Western Avenue in the Near West Side neighborhood, police and the Cook County medical examiner's office said. English, of the 4300 block of South Champlain Avenue, was taken to Stroger Hospital and pronounced dead at 8:59 p.m., according to police and the office.

Just hours later, in about the same location, a 55-year-old man was grazed in the shoulder blade around 1:45 a.m. Thursday in the 100 block of South Western. Police said he was driving south on Western when someone fired at him from a vehicle. He declined medical attention.
